MRTN Signals & Forecast

A buy signal was issued from a pivot bottom point on Thursday, April 18, 2024, and so far it has risen 9.20%. Further rise is indicated until a new top pivot has been found. Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Volume is rising along with the price. This is considered to be a good technical signal. Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. The Marten Transport stock holds a buy signal from the short-term Moving Average; at the same time, however, the long-term average holds a general sell signal. Since the longterm average is above the short-term average there is a general sell signal in the stock giving a more negative forecast for the stock. On further gains, the stock will meet resistance from the long-term Moving Average at $17.48. On a fall, the stock will find some support from the short-term average at $17.01. A break-up through the long-term average will give another buy signal, while a fall below the short-term average will add another sell signal and strengthen the general signal.

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 6th we expect Marten Transport to open at $17.44, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $17.02 and $17.86, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.422 (+/-2.42%) up or down from last closing price.
